whats so good about the jailbreak theres nout on it that makes it much better is there?

the jailbreak gives you far more options about layout and appearance, eg. i have notifications on the lock screen for all new sms, email, missed calls etc. one other feature was folders for apps, but that appears to have been added now. it also means i can have NES and playstation emulators running, allowing for some classic gaming.

I'll update my 3G at some point. Getting a 4G Thursday, so not so important on the tired old phone.
It's really only the folders option that'll be really useful on the 3G. Biggest pain is having to install a whole new OS on my 'puter before I can do anything with the new phone. You need OSX10.5.8, my venerable '03 Powerbook is running 10.4.8.
Oh, well, should have done it yonks ago.
